Last week I had the opportunity to attend the
Creating Futures Through Technology Conference (CFTTC) at the Beau Rivage Resort in Biloxi, MS. I learned some really cool things, that will help instructors implement technology in their classrooms. Here are a few sites that I would like to share with you:
- Join.me -- share your desktop/screen with another user. Great for helping students with issues, especially if you need to see their desktop, or if you need them to see yours temporarily.
- Khan Academy -- wonderful "how to" videos that are simple and easy to understand. Great resource for any student. Bill Gates endorsed, free, and no sign-up required.
- Wordle Clouds -- cool little tool that would be fun for a vocabulary, med terms, or other course in which students are learning to type and spell words correctly. Students type the words, and Wordle creates an "artsy" looking cloud. Must have Java.
- Engrade Flashcards -- create flashcards for any topic, or view flashcards that have already been created.
- CloudOn -- iPad users, beware, you will fall in love. Microsoft Office and Dropbox both for the iPad here.
- Android App Inventor -- easy, free, app inventor. Need some programming experience to do this. Plenty of YouTube videos to help, though. Must have Java, gmail account, and software for app inventor installed on your computer.
- iTunes University -- iTunes podcasts/videos for free learning.
Hope you enjoy these links. Some, I am sure you have heard of already. Leave me your feedback...I love comments! :)
